South Side ODR Sensor

in THE MAIN WALL
Happy holidays,



I have a client with a large knight boiler due for service. First time in 5 years. Other than changing the usual parts and cleaning the boiler I am offering to install an ODS for the boiler. The only wall to go through is the boiler room wall and it is on the south side. The house is an an urban setting and the next house on the south side is twelve feet away. Both the clients home and the neighbors home are three stories tall.



Scrap the sensor, or find a dark cold spot on the south side and install?

    And 3 stories.....does light ever enter that space? Got a laser thermometer to take temp readings at noon or 3 pm to see if they are very different?

    Intake Pipe

    Try putting it in the intake pipe termination Ell. Shield the Ell from sunlight with a sheet metal cover if necessary.
